I'm slowly working on creating some html templates using paged.js as a parser. Will allow for easier PDF creation with actual page breaks, page numbers, headers etc. I'm going to try and comment the files well enough as well so they of anyone wants to do any changes, or uses it as a based for other sheets may as well and not get lost. Attached is a few pages I did, all html. Yeah I know it needs work but wanted to make sure the script worked in Firefox, Edge and Chrome.

Hello everyone, I’d like to announce the availability of a new Hero System character sheet for Roll20 intended for heroic-level campaigns. “Hero System 6e Heroic” is available alongside Darren’s “Hero System 6e” in Roll20’s game options. This is an entirely new character sheet that uses no code from the earlier sheet. HS6e Heroic has a different design philosophy motivated by the needs of heroic settings such as Fantasy Hero and Star Hero. Over the last year or so I worked on a Star Hero campaign, but felt stymied because the existing character sheet was inappropriate for the setting. Eventually I decided I would either have to drop the idea or lea…

OK, I bought it as soon as I saw the news it was live. Not used it though? Anyone given it a road-test? What are the high and low lights? Doc PS: Why isn't there notifications on the site to tout it?

We were able to get a lot accomplished this week for the Champions Begins GM Book & Adventure. We completed editing of Chapters 1 through 4, and added the content to the Roll20 Adventure that'll be included in the bundle. The work done this week concentrated on editing and proofreading the adventure, and formatting it for Roll20. It's just the copy text and art for now. The maps, characters, and tokens are planned for after the text content for the adventure is complete. The plan for next week is to complete Chapter 5 by editing and formatting for Roll20 (making sure all the headers are consistent, another proofreading pass and such). Then doing a final e…

I recently came across an article for an AI-created art program called Midjourney and wondered if anyone on here had ever used it. The online art that it generated was pretty impressive.

There’s a new Roll20 project in the works with a Q4 2022 targeted release. The Champions Complete Bundle will include a combined Compendium of Champions Complete and Champions Begins, plus the Champions Begins tutorial adventure and an additional set of maps and tokens. If you’re unfamiliar with Roll20 Compendiums, they provide simple rules and content access with filtering and search capabilities. Additionally, Compendiums allow users to drag and drop character tokens directly into maps and access their character sheets. For example, a GM could drop a villain into a map and access the villain’s character sheet in seconds. The Compendium will use the currently…

I am trying to launch a "Play-by-Post" HERO 5th Pulp game and need a site where my players/I can share maps, discuss "In Character" and "Out-Of-Character" topics, roll dice, essentially game in an asynchronous fashion. Just to be clear, I do not need a VTT... I attempted to use "World Anvil" but everything there makes me feel like I spend FAR more time fighting their overly convoluted interface than creating my game content. At one point, I attempted to generate a link to join my campaign that sent my player to a TOTALLY different campaign! Argh!!!! Does anyone have any suggestions for a low cost place to host a "Play-by-Post" HERO 5th game? …

For those who know, Alter Ego Software closed shop. They took everything off Drivethrurpg and everything. You may still get updates if you have MetaCreator, but support is minimal.

Hi there everyone. I've been working on a module for playing 6e Hero in Foundry for a bit now, and it's finally ready enough, I feel, to be used publicly. I've submitted it for approval to Foundry itself, but in the meantime, I've made the repository containing it public and if you're interested, you can check it out here: https://github.com/jared-l-vine/hero6e-foundryvtt Fair warning, it's pretty feature-light at the moment. There's a lot more I want to do with it, but it's taken some time getting these basics up and running and learning how you even develop a Foundry module in the first place. Feel free to take a look and submit and bugs you come…

This is a free pdf on drivethrurpg. The author basically reversed engineered the books from the ODD (Little Brown Books), D&D B/X, BECMI and AD&D 1st. Margins, table strokes, layout, etc along with what fonts were originally used as well as alternatives. Included is the PDF of his findings as well as InDesign files setting up Master Pages for the different layouts.

Stuck it here just cause. Lately I've been printing the smaller hero books as booklet size 8.5x5.5 (11" on its side). Next up is the Pulp Hero adventures by Steve L. Along with some of the older modules.

I know it's kind of crazy to ask given that I have the Hero Designer and I can print Character sheets out, but sometimes a PDF form fillable character sheet is easier when I use the Designer to create my character first. The problem is that I have ran across a couple of such sheets but they are both bad. One adds up speed incorrectly. It rounds the number when it clearly says in the book not to. So that one is out. The other is by Wayne Peacock and it seems fine but I find that it does some thing with Strength. It's not a whole number and in some cases the stats can be off by one. I'm not a GM so this is my character I have tried searching via goo…

I found a character sheet in the resource section that was pretty close to what I was looking for as a Play sheet for CONs and Intro Games. Essentially sheet that leaves out all points and give general text boxes for entering info. The one I found that was Fantasy Hero Character Sheet form beta2.pdf Beta2 in the HERO System 6th Edition Documents section. I’d like to upload my 5th Ed version to HERO System 5th Edition Documents and wanted to touch base with the original poster and get their OK to do so. I went back to grab the name of the original uploader, and noticed it was uploaded by “By Guest” with no additional links to contact them I thought I’d pos…

I am to the point on my Roll20 character import for 6e that I would like some alpha testers. If you are interested, send me a PM. To be able to help you need to: 1. Own Hero Designer. 2. Have a PRO subscription to Roll20. 3. Use the HS6e character sheet in your Roll20 campaign. At this point I have the basic characteristics along with running, swimming and horizontal leap, continuing to work on other things. Skills are probably up next. - E

Back in the 90's, when my group would play the game where ever we could, it was tough to roll 12 to 15d6 on a McDonald's table. I came to the rescue with a little program called Diceroll.exe (at least I think that was the one). It printed a chart on an 8.5 x 11 sheet that had a percentile to roll instead of the die sixes. It listed Body and Stun for 1d6 for I think up to 30d6. I still have the program, but I need a computer with DOS. I don't have one and even if I did, I'm not sure it would connect to a USB printer. (Serial Ports and all) Players would probably find Hero Systems Mobile. From that they can just tap the button on the screen. Yet. No…

I have a 5th edition Excel Character sheet that is dated 2007 and I assume I got from here because there is a link to this site in it. As far as I can tell any other character sheets do not exist on the site before 2013. I have done a search for 5th edition character sheets and there is only one. The one that I have is basically a beta version and is superior to the one that is on the site (no offense to the person that uploaded it). But I am just wondering what happened to the file or files 6 years previous. Would the owner ask to have it removed? I was hoping to find an updated version, but sadly no such luck. There is a link in the file but that is over 13…

Currently I am running a game online and we are using Epic Table which has mostly meet our needs. It is a bit clunky and has a single developer maintaining it. I have been looking at a wide variety of other VTTs to use. I have looked at all the big names - Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, Maptools, etc. A while ago I found Tabletop Simulator on Steam. I was fascinated with the possibility of 3D rendered terrain and figures, shared sound (effects and music), and what seemed to be a big community working on free assets. I didn't buy it because I didn't want to spend the $20 on an experiment. Now it is on sale and I picked up a license. A quick list of …

I'm flipping through these as well as a few comic trades I picked up from the Waco Library. Book Design made Simple is a run through of using Adobe Indesign to set up your books files. I'm only 2 chapters into it, still setting up InDesign. 480+ pages with a companion website. I would say it comes off as pretty complete, my only issue is that it relies heavily on InDesign. [$59.95 USD (OUCH)] Making Books is exactly that. From what tools to use to how to set up different types of stitching. I'd suggest this one if your diy'ing your rpg books from pdf. $35 at around 190 pages.
